Summary

Netflix's *Hulk Hogan: Real American* includes Hogan addressing the racist comments he made on a 2007 sex tape that became public in 2015. The documentary, which features his final interview before his death in 2025, presents the remarks as part of a broader look back at the most controversial parts of his life and career.

The same project also revisits other difficult moments from Hogan's later years, including his comments about fentanyl use during his TNA run.

Quote from Hulk Hogan

Hogan said he regretted both the language he used and how he handled the fallout:

"I'm a person that got very mad over a personal situation. I used a word. Yeah, I regret it, because even under that heavy, crazy fire, I should have remained still and kept my mouth shut. But what I said resonates and has an echo effect. It keeps vibrating for years."

Hogan later went on to say:

"Bro, I've driven the car, keep hitting the wall, crashing and burning, saying stupid stuff and messing up. Whenever I say I have regrets, it's because I didn't man up when I said it."

What Real American puts back on Hulk Hogan's legacy

By including those comments in Hogan's final documentary interview, *Real American* makes clear that the scandal remains inseparable from any full accounting of his legacy. For wrestling fans, that means the series is not just revisiting the heights of Hulkamania, it is also forcing a fresh look at the damage that controversy did to how Hogan was viewed in the years that followed.
